Cinema and public records
Abstract
When a producer is faced with the titanic task of making a film or, in other words, producing it, he must bear in mind that a cinematographic work or film is subject to a series of factors that will make the work exclusive and unpublished. To this end, the producer and his work must pass through a series of filters or registers that will give legality to the film in question. But what is a cinematographic film? According to the current legislation, Law 55/2007, of 28 December, it is any audiovisual work, fixed in any medium or support, in the making of which the work of creation, production, editing and post-production is defined and which is intended, in the first instance, for commercial exploitation in cinemas. Mere reproductions of events or representations of any kind are excluded from this definition.
